Repeat Cookie: White chocolate macadamia nut cookies

I did a "repeat" of the White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cookie for a few reasons. 1) Cole really really wanted me to.

2) I wanted to get some real pictures of them, since my last post only had an iPhone photo.

3) I have a Costco sized canister of Macadamia Nuts.

I baked them to be a little more squishy than crispy so they look a little different, but tasted just as good!
